VIDEOSTEP by STEP: GEOGRAPHIC EDUCATION IN TENNESSEE

For the past six summers the Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Missouri Geographic Alliances have hosted a leadership institute at the University of North Alabama. This year a very special team of educators from Tennessee created this video as the culmination of their work in the institute. The six-minute video tells an important story of the status of K-12 geography in Tennessee, why we have a long way to go, and what directions we need to be going. Please share this with decision makers across the state. Please note, the video was conceived, story boarded, filmed and edited in a 24-hour period which makes it even more extraordinary.
